GlacierShade & Scilla
Scilla
Have you ever noticed how lichens cling to the faces of glaciers, acting as pioneers for other plant life? I find their ability to survive in such harsh conditions fascinating.

It’s a quiet reminder that even in the harshest places life finds a foothold, almost like the glacier’s own slow, steady rhythm. The lichens are tiny, but their presence marks the first steps toward a whole new ecosystem, a subtle but steady shift that I keep an eye on.

Indeed, the glacier’s slow creep is a quiet teacher—just watching those lichens colonise can reveal so much about the future of the whole system. I often keep a notebook of those shifts; they’re the subtle signals we rarely notice.

I keep those notes, too. The little colour changes in the lichen spots give clues about micro‑climates, and every shift is a data point in the glacier’s slow lesson.

Colour shifts are subtle, yet they’re like a quiet code the lichens leave behind, hinting at the micro‑climate beneath. I love catching those hints in my own notes; each small change is a small clue about the glacier’s slow story.

It’s the same rhythm I’m tracking—tiny colour flickers that map temperature, moisture, and time. Each shift is a small clue that helps piece together the glacier’s long, unfolding story.

That rhythm feels almost like a pulse—each flicker a note in a longer symphony. I find it rewarding to read those tiny signals and let them guide my understanding of the glacier’s slow unfolding.
